Default x axis problems

I have a standard 3d graph indicating insurance claims paid out over a
7 year period. The y axis is dollars and the x axis is an annual term
(i.e. 01/01/1998 to 01/01/1999). When the source data is set, the
years read 01/01/1999 to 01/01/1998. The reverse order option merely
reverses the entire order of the 7 year period, not the readout on the
individual years. Any help?

Charlie -

Do you mean the data is not in chronological order in the sheet? In a
line chart, there are two possible types of X axis. One type is
categorical, which just lists the data in its worksheet order, so dates
appearing as {1998,2001,1999,2000} in the worksheet will be listed in
that order. The other type is Time-Scale, and the years will be sorted
into their chronological order. You can change the axis type by right
clicking the chart, selecting Chart Options from the pop up menu, and
clicking on the Axes tab.
